bermuda, a huge storm but as it passed over the island it left a trail of destruction in its wake and people are just beginning to see it all. igor's eye passed just 40 miles west of bermuda. this monster storm was downgraded to a category 1 just before dawn on sunday. but, it still packed a punch. heavy rains and 80-mile-per-hour winds whipped trees and power lines knocking out electricity to almost 20,000 people on this island of only 68,000. the streets of hamilton, bermuda's capital, were under several inches of water and littered with tree branches and other debris. residents of bermuda, long used to tropical level, left the streets deserted. >> safety first. we can always rebuild. as burmudans, we already know to rebuild. >> in fact, it has a strict building code. homes must have walls at least eight inches thick able to withstand winds of 110 miles per

hour. for the most part, it was the tourists who ventured outside to witness the hurricane. >> i'm not scared at all. i just think it's an awesome force of nature, that it is an experience once in a lifetime that, is something i'm interested in. >> officials will be out in force today to assess the damage but so far, there is no wortd of any serious injuries. now, just keep in mind now the storm 135 miles north-northwest of bermuda, winds 75 miles an hour a min cal category 1 but picking up speed and taking a sharp turn. it's been raining there, by the time this is all said and done, it will have been raining for 36 hours straight. there's that storm. it will take a sharp turn now, kind of the result of the coreolios affect, picking up steam and out into the atlantic ocean but still have lots of activity in the atlantic and still plenty to go in this hurricane season. we'll talk more about that on our national maps in minutes but right now, maggie over to you.

>> see you then. thank you, dave. 7:03. time for politics and tea party candidate christine o'donnell who surprised everyone winning her primary in delaware last week. there's another surprise now as a video from her past comes back to haunt her. our congressional correspondent nancy cordes has more from washington this morning. good morning, nancy. >> maggie, good morning, welcome back. she says she is a devout catholic but in the video describes her experimentation with witchcraft and the man who released the clip says there is a lot more where that came from. >> i dabbled into witchcraft, i hung around people doing these things. >> reporter: the 1999 clip was released by comedian bill mahr who frequently invited her to appear on his show back in the 1990s, when she was an abstinent activist. >> one of my first dates with a witch on a satanic altar and i didn't know it. a little blood there and -- >> your first date was a satanic

altar? >> and had a little midnight -- >> reporter: delaware's republican senatorial candidate was already dealing with the fallout from this 1996 mtv documentary, where she equated masturbation to adultery. >> the bible says that locked in your heart is committing adultery. so, you can't masterbate without lust. he already knows what pleases him and can please himself, why am any the picture. >> she canceled appearances this weekend, but at a campaign picnic, she made light of her witchcraft experimentation. >> i was in high school. how many of you didn't hang out with questionable folks in high school? there's been no witchcraft since. >> reporter: sarah palin who endorsed o'donnell urged her via twitter to ignore the, quote, national media seeking your destruction. and, instead, use her time to

connect with local voters whom you'll be serving. >> thank you so much, iowa. >> reporter: palin herself connected with voters in iowa this weekend, speaking at the annual ronald reagan dinner, fueling speculation she's laying the groundwork for a presidential run in 2012. >> time for renewal, restoration of honor, and those time-tested truths. and it may take some renegades going rogue to get us there. >> reporter: bill mauer says he has a many more clips of o'donnell and will release one a week until she comes on his show. o'donnell says she has no regrets ba b what she said on his program. she said, hey, bill wanted ratings and i gave him ratings. >> nancy, thank you. our political analyst john dickerson joins us from columbus, ohio, to talk more about this. john, good morning. >> good morning, maggie. >> critics, some members of her own party are taking her to task over the old clips. how damaging do you think they will be to her campaign?

>> well, we're in a very weird place in this senate race talking about issues, we certainly weren't expecting to. and that's the problem not just one of these clips, they are coming out one after another. and it's, if nothing else, a distraction and a barrier between her and trying to tell voters what she actually believes and in delaware, a blue state, she's going to have to convince independent voters outside of the tea party group that has already elected her and so this is going to give them some questions about her. >> does she have to answer those questions or can she, as she did this weekend, just make light of it? karl rove, for one, says this raises serious questions about her character and she has to address these seriously. >> well, she seemed to have kind of brushed this one off pretty well, that's the way these candidates have to do things. the problem is just the tonnage of these clips. bill mahr obviously sees an opportunity to promote himself and his self-interest is aligned essentially with taking her down. she has to find a way to deal with this, what's going to be or

seems to be kind of a daily set of explosions of old videotape. >> she could do what sarah palin has done and worked so beautifully for sarah palin that, is to play media victim. >> that's right. the victim card is one sarah palin has paid, rand paul has done the same thing, a bit of a time-honored technique and works with your supporters apt to believe you what say but if you are trying to get to voters in the middle or independents to convince you have another set of ideas, they're not just going to take it at face value you are a victim and rally to your side. it might work a little bit but she still has that big job to convince voters she can be their senator. >> john, we saw sarah palin at that event this weekend in iowa where the road to the white house usually begins for a lot of people but wasn't going the traditional route, going door to door shaking voters' hands. do you think she has time to work that if she wants to be a serious contender in the iowa caucuses? >> she has time. sarah palin, at the moment in

the -- in conservative politics, makes her own weather. so, she can -- she can do as she pleases for the moment in iowa and if she needs to kind of get an organization together quickly but, of course, you can wait too late and candidates who have tried to sort of have the new fangeled organizations in id iowa, fred thompson tried this and it was a dismal failure. you have to do it. in the end she will have to dot retail pains taking politics that works in iowa. >> she's a lot more popular than fred thompson was at the time. we'll see john dickerson, thanks so much at 7:09. >> indeed, she was -- is. >> the american hiker held in iran more than a year is back in the united states. sarah shourd is pleading for the release of her fiance and friend who are both still behind bars in tehran. cbs news correspondent michelle miller joins us from the united nations with more. michelle, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, harry. the u.n. general assembly begins this week and the iranian

we committed no crime, and we are not spies. >> reporter: shourd was freed tuesday after officials in oman mediated her half million dollar bail. >> i applaud the humanity that set sarah free and i cry encore, encore. it's time for shane and josh to come home, too. >> reporter: cindy hickey and laura fattal, mothers of the two still detained, say they're encouraged by shourd's released. >> i was thrilled for sarah. i was so happy for nora, and i was heartbroken for cindy and myself. we want our sons home. sglour their mothers have requested a meeting with iranian president ahmadinejad while he's in new york attending the u.n. general assembly. sunday, he called the release a humanitarian gesture and wants the u.s. to dot same for eight iranians he claims in american custody. >> translator: the u.s. government should make a humanitarian gesture to release the iranians who are illegally

arrested. >> reporter: ahmadinejad says the release of josh fattal and shane bauer really depend on whether or not they can convince a court in iran that, when they crossed over into iran, which is still up for debate, they did so without any ill intention. we should also mention there was concern about sarah shourd's health. she was checked by doctors in oman, said to be well. harry. >> michelle miller at the u.n. this morning. thank you very much. >> time to get you caught up on the headlines. erica hill is standing by at the news desk. good morning. >> welcome back. good morning to you and everyone at home. this morning the bp well at the center of the worst oil spill in u.s. history now officially dead. tests confirming yesterday a cement plug now permanently capped that well in the five months since the explosion, 206 million gallons of oil spewed from the well into the gulf of mexico. bp has already paid out 9.5 billion dollars in cleanup costs with another $20 billion set

easy, lighter sentences may have contributed to the downfall? >> it probably did contribute to the downfall because there were really no consequences at all to what she did. now she realizes there are tremendous consequences, she's supposed to start a movie in november and if she's behind bars, that's not going to happen. >> but do you think long-term professionally this will affect her? >> you know, hollywood is a very forgiving think. >> think of robert downey, jr., right. >> exactly and she has tremendous talent. if she didn't she would another actress with a problem and no one would care. but everyone realizes she's very talented. let her fix her life and clean herself up and give her a second chance. >> we hope. we shoep she does. another hollywood starlet we know is not going to prich after her drug arrest, paris hilton. >> she will plead guilty to two misdemeanors, one for drug possession the other obstructing an officer. she was loogd at a felony possession, a minimum of a year in prison to a maximum of four. she did the right thing, she fessed up to it, a year of

learning about birth control, what is your reaction? >> not surprising, because there is no standardization across the board as to how we teach sex ed or reproductive health, if you will, to our teenagers. people who teach the class may not be formally trained. in fact, across the board, only about 18% of sex ed teachers have had formal training in the subject. some of them may not want to teach the subject, harry. >> right. >> gym teepers, driver's ed teachers may be told this is what you are teaching. they might not want to teach it. >> almost a throw-away thing in a lot of schools. >> it can be. of course, the teacher will bring his or her own values into what they're teaching. >> right. >> this is a difficult topic even for parents, for doctors so it's no surprise the people teaching it may bring their own -- >> -- a third of these kids not having any sort of understanding or no formal training about birth control, what does that mean to you? how does that resonate with you?

>> i think in terms of the subject matter we are putting this into a social context instead of a medical one. we have to remember data clearly shows if you give teenagers all the information, they are, in fact, less likely to engage in sex or premature reproductive behavior than if they're only taught selectively about things like abstinence. if they are not taught about birth control, they are more likely to get into trouble. >> let's talk about things parents should know. if you know that, what you just said about how it is being taught, it really ends up you need to be able to talk about it at home, what are things parents need to -- >> you bring up such an important point, harry. this is really something should be a group effort, parents, health professionals and teachers should all be involved educating our teens. you need to be prepared. understand as a parent your teen may come to you with a question when you least expect it, maybe driving them in a car somewhere or preparing a meal. be ready with what you want to

say. the other thing is very important be honest and direct with your answers. if you don't know the answer to something, don't be afraid to say "i don't know." the other thing is share your expectations and values. you need to say as a parent to your child we expect that you do not have sex until "x" amount of age and clearly open up more discussion. >> dr. jennifer ash shon, as always, thanks. >> you're welcome. >> all right. we're going to take a break. we'll be back right after this.

>> what was interesting, they found ethnic differences. they found gender differences. for example in this population, they found 28% of those who had surgery were white teenagers. however, 65% of them underwent surgery. this is a little bit counterintuitive because 28% represented the overweight teenagers, but 65% of them actually had surgery. so, in among white teenagers, more are having obesity surgery than are obese. >> exactly. i understand that. either way, when i heard about this, it's very alarming because it is such a drastic thing for a young person to do. >> it is. we know in the adult population, maggie, obesity surgery is the gold standard for pearlnant weight loss with more and more teens and children being obese and overweight, we are starting to see the treatment for that kind of go over to that age group. now, again, when you talk about something drastic, you have to weigh risks versus benefits. the benefits of this in the teen-aged population is that we

will hopefully be able to prevent the diabetes, the high blood pressure, the high cholesterol that we're starting to see in teenagers who are already obese. why weight until they are 20 or 30 to start treating that when some people say you should start treating it when they have the disorder. however, you always have to talk about risks. you and i talk about that all the time. >> are there greater risks for surgery as a teenager versus an adult. >> no, this study did not find any higher complication rate amongst teenagers or children. they still saw the same complications they see in adults, which could include anything from bleeding to infection. depending on whether or not they had the lap band or gas tick bypass, those sites can leak and cause infection. they have the same immediate post-operative complications, lung problems. they could see kidney failure in the hospital, all of these were not seen in a higher rate in the children or teenagers than we see in adults. but again, we're seeing more and more of this. we also should note, maggie, the lap band, which is very popular

is not fda approved yet for use in children. the company that makes the lap band is starting to apply for that. >> it hasn't been around that long so i guess they don't know how it will affect them. >> no, about a decade. we'll look at long-term how do these people do 10, 20, 30 years after the procedure. that's going to be very important. >> all right dr. jennifer ashton, thank you so much. >> you're welcome. >> up next this morning, guns and gorgeous scenery, the legendary series "hawaii five-oh" debuts on cbs tonight. dave has a look. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. introducing quattron quadpixel technology, it adds a fourth color, yellow, to the standard rgb color system, creating a vast array of colors you can't see with your tv's 3 color technology. but, you can see this... wow!

this goal. >> just finishing the academy. >> but in the first episode, i think you establish that you will not be messed with. >> she's scrappy, strong, she's growing up. she might make mistakes or two but pulls herself out. >> relying heavily on her cousin chin ho, played bier daniel day kim. no stranger to the islands, he moved here in 2003 for the series "lost" and understands how important this show is for the hawaiian people. >> well, "hawaii five-o" i think is pretty big stuff here an iconic show and i feel we're carrying an torch. >> since the start of the series, there's always been that mistakable theme and it wouldn't be "five-o" without it. >> it begins and ends with the theme, as far as i'm concerned. once i hear humming, singing or whistling that song it's in my head for hours. one of those oh, you did it.

(humming). >> the cast and crew work long days shooting on location around oahu but realize the chance to work in paradise is an amazing perk. how do you do it? how do you work in these conditions. >> oh, don't set me up like that. >> i mean, really. >> the thing is, hmm, we're at the beach today, we're on waikiki beach, a beautiful sunny day. it's a great place. >> on the beach. >> you are looking for another member on the force? >> ha-ha. i think -- your resume down there. you've got the aloha shirt. >> i'm dressed the part. viewers will determine if "five-o 2.0" is a hit but alex believe they have all it takes. >> -- >> here's the deal. there is plenty of old "hawaii five-o" for those who really

loved that show. >> right. >> and plenty of explosions and drama and action and sexiness for those who have never seen that show before. >> harry, remember when you were watching the pilot, you said it looked like a major motion picture. i mean, they spent money on this show. >> it is a really good looking show. >> and i'm so glad they kept it in hawaii. you couldn't do this show justice otherwise. that's what made the first show what it was. >> how excited are the people of waikiki and, well, the whole island. >> well, remember what this means, you know, first of all it's island and state pride. they declared -- the governor declared the month "hawaii five-o" months. they had the premiere on waikiki beach, over 10,000 people came. economically what it means is incredible. this is one large post card for the state of hawaii every week and it is so beautiful even if you don't like crime dramas, you will want to turn in to see the scenery. >> escape for a minute like a vacation. economically it is so important because th-- when it goes away,

seeing it in new york city with "law & order" so important to replace that on the island to replas the dollars. >> daniel day kim in his own career decisions specifically went to this show because it would be great and number two wanted to stay in hawaii with his wife and kids. he actually opened a restaurant there, a burger restaurant in waikiki. he wants to call hawaii home. >> maybe we'll send the kids to president obama's high school. >> ahh, who knows. >> -- just seeing the pictures really makes you go back. >> you can go back, every monday. >> exactly. >> "the early show" needs a field trip there. >> i think we do. >> don't forget "hawaii five-o" debuts tonight at 10:00 right here on cbs, exactly 42 years to the day that the original pilot aired. >> like we planned it. >> i know. >> still ahead, they were rescued from a dog-fighting ring rung by michael vick and marked

nice to see you guys on the plaza. that's a quick look at your weather picture. harry? >> thanks very much. michael vick made quite the comeback sunday in first appearance as starting quarterback for the philadelphia eagles leading the team to victory and scoring two touchdown passes. he, of course, was jailed for running a dog-fighting ring. you are about to hear about another amazing comeback, of the animals rescued from his property. our correspondents dr. debbie turner bell, our residents veterinarian has the story. good morning. >> good morning. when dogs are confiscated, the standard operating procedure has been to put them down, they were too scarred or aggressive to be trusted. but the pit bulls rescued from his farm were given a second chance, with incredible results. it was a crime that shocked the nation. in april 2007, investigators uncovered an illegal dog-fighting operation on the virginia farm of nfl superstar quarterback michael vick.

>> and i have to pate consequences for it. >> reporter: he pleaded guilty to animal cruelty and served 19 months in a federal prison and became a lightning rod for critics. but few paid attention to the 51 pit bulls taken from vick's farm. their fate seemed sealed. >> we had been told these were the most dangerous aggressive dogs in america. >> but donna reynolds, who specializes in rescuing and rehabilitating pit bulls was on a panel of animal experts that found that the dogs were not aggressive towards people. the panel believed these dogs should get a chance to live. >> once we met the dogs, we knew that we had a lot of work to do because so many were shut down around people, scared to death. >> reporter: this is uba. in 2007, headlines branded him menacing. and this is uba today. >> he can wave. wave. there you go! >> reporter: meet frodo. >> your buddies. >> reporter: and johnny. >> what's this? >> when the 51 dogs were first

evaluated, hopes for rehabilitation were guarded, at best. >> the experts going in, like i said, went in hoping to get maybe 10% or, you know, four or five dogs. >> reporter: of the 51 dogs recovered, amazingly, 47 were given reprieves says journalist jim grant, whose new book "the lost dogs" tells their story. >> they were facing down, you know, death at several turns and somehow against very long odds overcame it every time. it's a long shot for them to be there. >> are you surprised these dogs have done so well. >> i'm surprised that so many of them have done so well. it's a great story of redemption, without a doubt. >> reporter: donna's organization bad rap received ten of the michael vik dogs. but for many of them, everyday life remains a struggle. frodo still fights his fears. >> makes a large growling noise. you know, that's scary for a dog like him. >> reporter: but each day brings progress. >> i've never seen a dog like this in my life try so hard to

be brave. >> reporter: uba only recently has overcome his fears. letting me touch his ears, his head, his muzzle two years ago, he wouldn't let people even get close. >> he is a normal dog and has been a normal dog. he just had an abnormal beginning to his life. >> then there's johnny, the dog formerly known as johnny rotten, now he's johnny justice and he's as sweet as they come. >> when johnny is in the presence of kids, it's like a little switch turns on. >> reporter: so, how far has johnny come? this far. >> the little dog popped out into the night. >> reporter: after rigorous training, johnny earned the right to become a therapy dog, helping kids cope with shyness, a companion they can read to and get close to. no one here even knew johnny's background as a michael vick pit bull. and that's the point. what does he teach us? >> forgiveness. it's absolutely heart-warming to

see that good won over ignorance. >> reporter: isn't it though? of the 47 rescued from the bad news kennels, 21 ended up at the best friends animal sanctuary, the largest no-kill sanctuary in the country and most will spend their lives there. the rest either found foster homes or forever home and they are wonderful pets, harry. >> wow. wow. no one would have predicted this when this whole thing happened. >> never, not in a million years. >> one of the dogs is a dog named hector, who is along with us and as is his owner, andrew yorry. good morning. >> good morning. >> what a good looking dog. >> look at him, how waum and wonderful he is. >> do us a favor lift the dog's head a bit so you can see what old hector went tluf. >> right here on his chest and down his legs, you see the scars from the fighting. he was either abate dog or actual fighting dog. but andrew has a wonderful thing

to say about these scars. >> what is it like to have this dog? >> um, it's actually just like having any other dog, you know, he's my duddy. he's my pet, and we enjoy spending the day together and just experiencing new things. and like she said, you know, these scars are all external. he doesn't have any internal scars. >> isn't that something? and, as one of the dogs in the piece, this dog is a therapy dog. you and i both know the thresholds these dogs have to be able to go over. >> yes. >> in order to be registered as therapy dogs. it's unimaginable to me how afraid, how scarred this dog must have been when he was in that fighting ring. >> the real truth, two things, first of all therapy dogs have to meet a very high standard. that says a lot about these dogs as individuals and about the breed, not all pit bulls are menacing monsters. the second thing, though, many of these dogs rescued from bad news weren't aggressive or would not have been saved.

they dealt with issues of fear and lack of socialization. that's where the big burden was, to get them socialized, help them deal with their fears and some of them are still dealing with those fears. >> at the end of the day, you see the patch right there, ask to pet me. doesn't matter what kind of dog it is. >> that's right. >> make sure you ask the owner. >> you want to ask permission, don't look them in the eye. >> andrew, thank you very much. hect hector, good job, buddy. good job. thank you very, very much. >> my pleasure. >> an excerpt of "the lost dogs" go to our website. julie? >> thanks, harry. we have probably all seen it or even done it, playing sick to stay home from school. but what if school is actually making your kids sick? "early show contributoror a child and a adolescent psychologist here to tell us about the anxiety disorder known as school refusal. good morning. >> good morning. >> what is it exactly. >> the experience your kids have they just can't get to school.

they may seem physically ill but just panic at the thought of leaving home to get to school. they just are so anxious, they can't make it happen. >> are this symptoms? >> there are definitely symptoms. it starts out with a lot of the physical symptoms you would think in adult anxiety, might complain of headaches, stomachaches, might really get a little faint at different times. they might get really nauseous or be exhausted often because they are not sleeping well at night so, tired they can't get to school in the morning. >> what causes this? >> there is a lot of things we have to consider. some of it is basic performance anxiety. kids want to do well in school, they want to impress their teacher, impress their parents. they may really be afraid they are not going to suck see, maybe were out for a few days and can't catch up. they are afraid they aren't going to be able to do it. that's one thing. we also want to think about separation anxiety a. kindergartner may have a hard time leaving mom and dad and be afraid of what's going to happen when not there. some of that impacts their ability to go to school.

we also think about bullying, which will prevent kids from going, if they are atrade they will be picked on, beat up, have a fight, why do you want to be in school that day? i'm staying away. lastly any family tropical storm marks divorce, a move, death of a pet, anything that's major might really impact their ability to leave the home successfully and go to school. >> how do you figure out, as a parent, if your child really has this or if the child is just going through what every kid goes through? >> it is so hard because so often kids get sick and we have to be able to determine what's what. say they are starting to panic and really can't do it and you say, okay, you can stay home today, there's going to be an immediate sense of relief in that moment. oftentimes if you can get them to school they will calm down, also, almost anticipatory they have the conflict. or relief, wait a second, there is something else we have to investigate. >> say you know 100% your child has this. >> right. >> how do you deal with it, is there treatment, how do you cope as a family? >> absolutely there's things to do. the first thing you want to do is get down to the root of the

matter and ask a lot of questions. what's happening at school? how come things aren't so easy at school? open-ended questions to pull information, not yes or no when pigeon hole them. talk to the school and find out if anything is happening at school and tell them they are having a hard time getting there and what can they do to work with you to get them to school. you what unto think about how to gradually reintroduce them. maybe they can't get there the whole day but can be there at 10:00. the next day maybe they oop they get in at 9:00 and slowly gradually build it up. lastly, teach them how to do relaxation techniques when they get anxious, we have learned breathing techniques can really slow us down, refocus us, we can change how we think. you want to find some books or professionals that can help you deal with that with your kids. >> how common is this disorder? >> it's very common. you know, they say anywhere between two to five percent of kids suffer from this kind of disorder, anxiety disorders the

largest mental health disorder across ages but two to five% of kids actually suffer from this. >> last question, does it typically hit like junior high school kids or grammar school kids? >> generally starts in middle school then again at middle school but also does happen in high school. if it starts to happen later, there might be other things happening, depression, other anxiety problems so you might want to investigate that more. >> dr. jennifer hartstein, thank you. >> thank you. >> from cars to computers, so much more you often had a choice to buy it new or used. our business and economics correspondents rebecca jarvis is here this morning to tell us which pre-owned items you should purchase and which ones are best right out of the box. good morning, rebecca. >> good morning, maggie. >> start with the used things, no-brainers to buy used, books and cds and movies. >> so much turnover of these in the home, you read a book and put it on the shelf and never think of it again. a lot of people are making a business out of that selling them used. you can get on all of these things about a 75% discount just

by buying them used. >> you know, even if you buy a cd and it has a scratch i know a trick you can use toothpaste. >> a good point. when you buy things used sometimes they come out and are not perfect but ways to fix it like you said with the cd and the dvd works same way. >> i love going to a flea market or estate sale. >> part of the fun finding something used especially when it comes to home accents, a lot of time it will be a much lower price and also you have the fun of the hunt. on top of that these types of items, they sit in the home and don't get a lot of wear and tear oftentimes, so you are really finding something basically, for all practical purposes is new but getting at a used price. >> you can see right when you buy it what you are getting. >> that's right. you can make the negotiation, too, if you are at the flea market or what have you can negotiate the price down a bit. >> also part of the fun. >> exactly. >> sporting goods, a lot of people want their sporting goods not just these items but others to be working perfectly.

why should you buy them used. >> it is important to make sure the item itself is working perfectly but the used prices are such significant discounts. you see smaller ticket items from balls to bats to tennis racquets but in bigger-ticket purchases like the home equipment from a treadmill to the skis to the golf equipment, oftentimes, you can find practically brand new stuff that just sat in someone's closet a long time. you go out and make the purchase and think you will use the golf set, you don't use it. as a purchaser, you can make use of that. my sister did this, she went on craigslist and got golf clubs originally $700 got them for $100 on craigslist. >> huge. >> at lof the equipment stores in the field will sell this at a big discount. >> i assume a few months after january, a new year's resolution to use a treadmill wears off. >> the perfect time of year to get it. >> other things that might surprise people. >> it is really interesting. if you take a look, jewelry, for example, will oftentimes be much less expensive when you buy it

used and still a good purchase. diamonds, if you are buying an engagement ring, for example, one of the biggest purchases people make in a lifetime, a great way to buy used. also time shares. people will go out and say i want to buy a timeshare. 67% is the discount you can get by just buying that timeshare used and can rent it and office furniture great to be used it is very durable, meant to last and a lot of offices when they vacate the premises sell that furniture. >> makes sense. things are absolutely should buy new bike helmet, when it comes to safety -- >> you can't compromise. and what they will tell you, according to the experts, one time of use where a bike helmet hits the ground in an accident, that's done. that means it won't work again. >> and you won't see a crack. >> exactly. it will crack inside, what it is meant to do to break the fall. it is very important, buy them new, it is worth the money. >> the same for car seats. i can tell you car seats are

ridiculously expensive but you can get a good one for like fifty bucks, a good price range now. >> you want to make sure you get it new because used, you don't know if it's been in an accident or had an issue. the one thing i will say a family member or relative or something like that and know the history, that's one thing. >> item make sure it is not on a recall list, what you have to do. lastly, why buy a vacuum cleaner new? >> they are so expensive but almost more expensive to use them and the more you use them it spews the dust out. the idea is to suck it in and clean it up. what's the points of a vacuum unless it does its job. >> give me other big-ticket things to buy new. >> first off, cribs because you don't know who assembled it and the same issue with recalling. digital and video cameras oftentimes are drop when people own them. have the brand new version and plasma and lcds, sometimes replacing them ends up costing

you more. >> and you don't get the warranty when you buy something used. >> that's right. >> thank you. in case you missed any of that. don't worry we'll have it on our website. we'll be right back. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. ,,,,,,

>> are you kidding? the preschools are coming to hill. >> look at this boy. >> gosh it makes me miss him. >> looks yummy. >> he is super yummy. >> what a puddem, as we say. those cheeks are like inflatable. >> you should see the thighs they've got little rolls, very sweet. >> how hard this morning when you woke up at the crack of dawn. >> that part was easy. >> i know you tip toed in. >> i went to his crib and i got a little choked up when i left, i have to say. at the same time, it's good to have adult conversations again, more than -- [ laughter ] >> that's a stretch but we take it as a compliment. >> dave spit up during the last break. >> exactly. >> have a great day, everybody. your local news is next. >> thank you, guys. ,,,,,,,,
